White Wine
Moraitis Sarakiniko Single Vineyard Assyrtiko 2024, Greece: Moraitis' Sarakiniko Single Vineyard Assyrtiko is a striking, light to medium-bodied white wine offering notes of Meyer lemon zest, lime, Granny Smith apple and white peach. This bone-dry wine displays crisp focus and energetic acidity that will continue to develop over the next six years. Serve it well chilled with grilled octopus as the wine's distinct maritime salinity complements the charred seafood, or pair it with fresh oysters where the wine's vibrant citrus evokes the island's sea breezes and rocky terrain. Winemaker Alexandros Moraitis crafts this iconic Assyrtiko from volcanic soils, creating brilliant aromatics alongside lingering powdery minerality and gentle herbal lift on the finish. The wine's taut structure and stony intensity showcase the grape's potential beyond its native Santorini. This pristine, mineral-driven white represents excellent quality and will drink beautifully through 2032. Assyrtiko food pairings: grilled octopus, fresh oysters, lemon-herb chicken, Greek salad with feta. Drink: 2026 - 2032 47826 14.5% XD 750 mL $47.95 Score: 92/100. March 2026.

Red Wine
Infinito Malbec 2023, Mendoza, Argentina: Infinito Winemaker's Selection Malbec offers concentrated aromas of black cherry, spice and hints of graphite. It's dry and medium-to-full bodied with a velvety texture. Serve it at room temperature with slow-braised lamb shanks in red wine sauce where the wine's generous fruit complements the rich sauce while its firm tannins balance the tender meat, or cellar it through 2034. This wine is crafted from grapes grown at altitudes ranging from 3,000 to 4,000 feet in both Luján de Cuyo and Uco Valley, where dramatic temperature swings between day and night help preserve the grapes' natural acidity while concentrating their flavors. The nine months of barrel aging adds complexity while maintaining the wine's approachable character. This versatile wine also pairs beautifully with grilled game sausages seasoned with herbs and garlic, where the wine's intensity matches the bold flavors while its fresh acidity cuts through the richness. Malbec food pairings: venison ragu, lamb shanks in red wine sauce, grilled game sausages. Drink: 2025 - 2034 10971 14.4% XD 750 mL $15.95 Score: 90/100. March 2026. Full Review Add to Shopping Cart
